Interesting platformer game.

Thank you a lot for playing and sharing the video! I noticed you found a bug with tutorials not resetting as expected. I will fix it now. Hope you had some fun playing!

Yay, I managed to finish the first level! Usually not playing such games, so for me this is an accomplishment and I at least wanted to give it a try. Lost my helmet right before the end. :D 

Would it be possible to let players customize the keys for the controls? On a german keyboard, z/y are swapped, so it felt a bit weird.

For the WebGL preview on itch.io, you might want to check out the better minimal webgl template for unity builds, you can find it on itch.io for free as well. I'm using it for all my games to get rid of that Unity footer. :)

It makes me really happy that you managed to stick with my game even if it wasn't your type and managed to pull it off to finish Level! Congratulations! 

You can also use the spacebar to jump. It's a hard-coded secondary key which should make your experience a bit better better. I am working on key rebinding right now, which is always a bit of annoying work to do in Unity. 

I totally did not know about any custom webgl template! I will check it out right now! Thank you for this recommendation!

nice demo , i liked it but had to give up on cave 1 level 8 - there was a jump required that i just thought was just too hard to do after fighting through all those enemies ...

the thing that i found the hardest overall to get used to was the player sticking to walls (and sliding down) without any key input from the player - this lead to many deaths as i would want to drop down quickly while avoiding stuff but accidentally hit a wall and stuck to it , causing many deaths ...

personally it would also be great if spacebar was jump and c or z was dynamite , that would be an easier layout for my fingers !

good luck with it all

Thank you for playing! 

I know exactly which jump do you mean. There is a pretty problematic spike on the right side of the cave. I plan to rebalance this level soon.

I am currently working on adding key remapping settings so all will be able to change to what they prefer. 

And thank you for the kind words!

Thank you for playing! 

I'm really glad that you noticed the hat! I am really proud of this mechanic.

More levels coming in about 2-3 weeks.
